Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

"There's still time."

Chen Mo took out five more chips and placed them all on the black area.

The white ball spins and finally lands in the red 19.

Another 500,000 lost.

Lu Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

"And now?"

Chen Mo looked at the roulette wheel and was finally aroused by a competitive spirit.

Throughout his past and present lives, he has experienced countless battles in the market.

Even when faced with the alliance between Wall Street and domestic capital, there has never been a situation where there is only outflow and no inflow as it is today.

"Again."

He turned and went to the baccarat table, pushing a million chips onto the dealer's side.

The dealer begins dealing the cards.

The dealer is at six o'clock.

It's 7 o'clock at night.

The million was taken away again.

The smile on Chen Mo's face gradually disappeared.

Lu Jingyi was already leaning back in her seat, watching him with great interest.

"How about we stop here for today?"

"It hasn't even been an hour yet."

"Didn't you just say that all casino games have negative expected value?"

"Short-term randomness doesn't necessarily mean you can't win."

Chen Mo picked up another million chips and turned to walk towards the dice table.

"big."

The dealer opened the dice cup.

one two three.

small.

The VIP room manager stood not far away, his eyelids twitching slightly.

He was even considering asking the dealer to go easy on him depending on the situation.

Lu Jingyi laughed so hard her shoulders trembled.

Chen Mo sat back down at the baccarat table.

"I really don't believe I can't win even one game."

He divided the remaining chips into two portions.

The first bet.

Leisurely Eight O'Clock.

The second transfer to bet on the idle.

The dealer draws a nine-point card.

In just over ten minutes, only one million two hundred thousand chips remained on the table.

Lu Jingyi raised her hand and glanced at her watch.

"Three minutes left."

Chen Mo remained silent for a few seconds before pushing all his remaining chips to the dealer's position.

"All in."

The dealer confirms the bet and slowly deals the cards.

The dealer has a total of eight points with his two cards.

The player's first card is a four, and the second card is also a four.

Eight o'clock to eight o'clock.

We need to draw more cards.

The dealer pulled the last card from the deck and gently turned it over.

A.

Nine o'clock at night.

The bookmaker loses.

The last 1.2 million chips were pushed away.

Five million Hong Kong dollars, not a penny left.

From start to finish, Chen Mo didn't actually win a single game.

The VIP lounge was quiet for a moment.

Lu Jingyi finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing while leaning over the table.

"Mr. Chen, do you submit?"

Chen Mo stared at the empty chip box, remaining silent for a long time.

He knows the general direction of crude oil, the ruble, and global markets over the next twenty years.

They even know which companies, not yet founded, will change the world in the future.

These memories will make him invincible in the capital market.

But he couldn't tell him what card the dealer would deal next, or which side the three dice in the dice cup would land on.

"This place is not suitable for me."

Chen Mo finally sighed and stood up.

"It's easier to make money back in the capital market."

Lu Jingyi's smile deepened.

"How does it feel to lose all your money?"

"I was deeply moved."

"What do you mean?"

"Heaven abhors fullness, and humanity abhors perfection. I've made enough money in the market, so it's only natural that my luck in gambling is a bit off."

Lu Jingyi smiled and took his arm.

"Chairman Chen has such a silver tongue, he can always make up for lost money."

"Didn't you lose half of your investment too?"

"You're going all in from here."

The two argued as they left the gambling table.

The VIP room manager personally escorted them to the door and asked if they needed to top up their entertainment credits.

"No."

Chen Mo waved his hand.

The manager's smile remained unchanged; for these people, winning or losing was just a pastime.

……

7:30 p.m.

The hotel's rooftop private banquet hall.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the hotels of Cotai are brightly lit.

Extravagant buildings stand tall in the night, illuminating the reclaimed land as if it were daytime.

There weren't many people attending the dinner.

In addition to Ho Kai-wing and his son, there are two directors of the Aohai Group in charge of real estate and hotel business, the chairman of a Macau bank, and a Hong Kong businessman who has long been involved in the Hengqin project.

Everyone treated Chen Mo with great politeness.

He Qirong was not in a hurry to discuss the project.

It wasn't until the second round of dishes was served that the secretary brought in a regional planning map.

"Macau's development over the past few decades has been inseparable from land reclamation."

He Qirong pointed to the area where Cotai is located.

"Taipa and Coloane were originally two islands."

"The large urban area between the two is now entirely reclaimed from the sea."

"With high population density and limited developable land, the reclaimed land area and Hengqin have become the most important sources of future growth."

On the planning map, one area was marked out separately.

One side faces Macau, while the other side connects to the Hengqin Port and future cross-border transportation.

"Aohai is preparing to establish a development platform with several Hong Kong and Macao companies."

"The initial plan includes a hotel, convention center, commercial district, yacht marina, and long-term vacation apartments."

"The project will no longer be centered around gambling."

He Qirong gave a bitter smile.

"Business at the gambling tables has become increasingly difficult in the last two years."

"Macau receives a large number of tourists every year, but many of them only stay one night."

"Young people and families who don't gamble come here, and aside from shopping and watching shows, it's hard to find a reason to stay for three or four days."

"Aohai would like to hear Mr. Chen's judgment."

Chen Mo did not immediately express his opinion.

He looked at the planning map, then gazed out the window at the brightly lit Cotai Strip.

Macau's existing integrated resorts are already luxurious enough.

Hotels, casinos, luxury shopping malls, and large-scale performances have become almost standard features.

Replicating the same model would only lead to several groups competing for the same group of tourists.

"Whom is Mr. Ho planning to attract?"

"High-net-worth clients, business meetings, and family tourists."

"The needs of these three types of people are completely different."

Chen Mo said.

"High-net-worth clients value privacy and service."

"Business travelers need meeting, transportation, and social spaces."

"Families are more concerned about the content, what activities the children can have, and whether young people are willing to stay."

"If you cram all these things into one bigger hotel, it will just end up being another casino complex."

He Qirong nodded.

"What are your thoughts, Mr. Chen?"

"Stop centering your life around hotels."

Chen Mo picked up a pen and drew several interconnected areas on the planning map.

"The entire project should become a resort town where you can live for several days in a row."

"The surrounding area consists of family entertainment and themed hotels."

"The center will feature an all-weather performance center, an e-sports arena, an indoor water park, and themed streets with different IPs."

"The coastal area will feature yachts, beaches, diving, and nighttime performances."

"High-net-worth clients have their own private areas with independent driveways, docks, and service teams, and they do not mingle with ordinary tourists."

The real estate director next to Ho Kai-wing quickly took notes.

Chen Mo continued, "The most important thing is the content."

"A traditional hotel will remain the same five years after it opens."

"Tourists lose interest after visiting once."

"Future resorts must be constantly updated."

"We change the theme of the performances every quarter and hold e-sports competitions, music festivals and international exhibitions every year."

"Our Douyin short video matrix and algorithm engine under Xingchen can turn the entire resort city into the world's largest natural content incubator. Every young person who steps into this place is not only a consumer, but also a super node that spontaneously generates viral traffic for the project."

The banquet hall gradually quieted down.

They were originally just eyeing the offshore dollar and low-interest channel behind the creation, but they never expected that Chen Mo would so effortlessly connect content IP, online traffic matrix and offline physical cultural tourism!

Aohai possesses land, hotel management capabilities, and local resources.

The Starry Sky Group boasts a young user base, content, and online distribution channels.

There is indeed room for cooperation between the two parties that goes far beyond the financial level.

"Mr. Chen means to turn the project into a theme park without walls?"

Not entirely.

Chen Mo said.

"Experience the scene during the day, watch the big show in the evening, stroll through the trendy streets late at night, and check in at the new event the next day. The goal is no longer to lure him to the gambling table, but to let the whole family stay here for 72 hours and still feel like they haven't had enough."

He Qirong gazed at the redefined Gold Coast on the blueprints, let out a long sigh, and sincerely exclaimed, "Overturning the original blueprints might cost us several months, but it's better than building it up and turning it into surplus assets. Mr. Chen, this simple meal has been incredibly rewarding!"

He then looked eagerly at Chen Mo and Lu Jingyi: "Aohai is willing to completely overturn and reconstruct. And what about Chuangsheng..."

Chen Mo did not agree directly, but said, "Star Technology and Star Tide Culture can start by designing the top-level content cooperation."

"As for whether we will invest in the creation, we will discuss that after the planning, policies and profit model are all clear."

Lu Jingyi nodded slightly.

He Qirong was not disappointed. Although he did not understand the Internet, he knew Douyin and Xingchen Technology. As long as Xingchen Group was willing to join, this project would have advantages that other integrated resorts would find difficult to replicate.

"There's one more thing."

Chen Mo's gaze fell once again on the coastal corner of the planning map.

"What is this place used for?"

He Qirong glanced at it.

"A low-density resort area on the southeast side of the project."

"Initial plans include building a standalone hotel and a members-only clubhouse."

"The land use procedures are still being coordinated, and the final scope has not yet been determined."

"How's the view?"

"Looking at the sea from the front."

He Qirong smiled.

"On a clear day, you can see the night view of both Macau and Hengqin."

Chen Mo circled a small area closest to the coast with his pen.

"Keep an eye on this area for me."

"Is Mr. Chen planning to invest in low-density hotels?"

"No."

Chen Mo put down his pen.

"I want to acquire a plot of land by the sea and build a private seaside estate."

He Qirong was somewhat surprised.

Lu Jingyi also turned her head to look at him.

"A private estate?"

"The main building doesn't need to be too big."

As Chen Mo looked at the planning map, a general outline had already formed in his mind.

"One main villa and several separate guest rooms."

"It features a heated swimming pool, a private dock, and ample underground space."

"The security exit is designed separately."

"We can let our parents come over for vacation, and our friends will also have a place to stay when they visit Hong Kong and Macau."

After experiencing the truck attack in Changhu, Chen Mo has become increasingly demanding in terms of the safety and privacy of his living environment.

No matter how perfect the hotel's services are, they cannot be designed entirely according to his security system.

A private estate directly managed by the Xingchen family would be more suitable for future needs.

He Qirong immediately understood: "Acquiring land under the guise of pure residential development may be restricted, but it can be approved through a compliant approach involving a family business clubhouse and low-density cultural and tourism facilities. Aohai will fully assist in completing the entire process of land acquisition and approval."

"Thank you, Mr. He. We can proceed according to business compliance standards."

Chen Mo turned to the side, his gentle gaze falling on Lu Jingyi's bright face: "As for the specific architectural style and interior decoration of the manor, it depends on the lady of the house's wishes."

All eyes in the room instantly fell on Lu Jingyi.

Even the seasoned CEO Lu, who had seen it all, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard Chen Mo's words.

After a brief moment of surprise, she calmly picked up her wine glass and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. He."

He Qirong burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Aohai has partnered with some of the world's best firms for developing seaside estates."

The atmosphere at the dinner party immediately became much more relaxed.
